My 15inch retina MacBook Pro ran out of battery and even after charging it. It can't seem to turn on. Anyone knows a quick way to fix this?
I was working on my MacBook when it suddenly shut down. I realised that I forgot to charge it. However after charging it for a few minutes of charging and several attempts at holding the power button down. It doesn't seem to turn on.
Keep it charging for several hours.

MacBook Pro battery ran low and computer shut down , after charging battery I tried to start up and I got an Apple on a gray screen with spinning wheel that went to a panic call out screen and that's as far as it will go. I've tried start up with command keys ,a few got me to a different screen but nothing has let me into any place I can use to try and repair problem. Anybody have an idea of what's wrong with my laptop and a way to fix it ?

My ipad ran out of battery and has been charging for an hour and won't turn on
my ipad ran out of battery and has been charging for an hour and won't turn on, it shows the charging from flat sign and nothing happens, please help, ive tried home and power
Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -
My iPad ran out of battery completely. After charging all night, it is 100% however I cannot get my apps to work. I can access Safari, email, etc., but cannot get game apps, etc. I have restarted it a couple of times. Any help? Thanks!
Try downloading any free app from thee store and then re-try your apps - the free app can then be deleted.
If that doesn't work then try closing all your open/recently used apps completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

Last night, I was watching something on my Macbook Pro and it died (out of battery). I went to plug it in and waited a couple of minutes to try and start it back up. However, when I connected the power source the light was green, which could not have been the case since I know 100% it was out of battery. I proceeded to hold the start button for a long period of time, but my computer made no noise and refused to turn on - it looked like for all intensive purposes it was dead. I left it alone overnight praying that it would be alright in the morning and luckily, when I opened the computer this morning it was restarted and fine. I'm concerned because I've had this happen to me a couple of times and while it always turns back on, I feel like there is a bigger issue that I need to get addressed. Can anyone help me with this? Any ideas? Thank you!
Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

Hi guys,
I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge. I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys.Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can? Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery. Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare? If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter. You are the one to make the final decision.

please help!
If the Home button is broken, best thing to do is take it in for repair, or get an estimate. Make a Genius appointment.

Hi. I have purchased Lego Indiana Jones for my Macbook Pro. On trying to install it, it is telling me it encountering an error. Does anyone know how I can get around this? Cheers

Any help you could give would be great -
My phone had been telling me i did not have enough storage- and i finally found out that pintrest was taking up 13 GB! When i found out, i deleted it. Soon my phone ran out of battery, and it was a while before i could plug it back in. Once i could plug it in it stayed on the Apple logo- and will not start. I can hold the power and start button and it will go black, but thats it. I have plugged it in but itunes wants me to restore it- we just got back from vacation and all our photos are on my phone!! I dont want to lose them!! GRRR PLEASE HELP!!!
Here's how to perform the restore:

If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

My IPhone 5S ran out of battery and now won't unlock
Hey guys
My Iphone 5S ran out of battery and now it won't accept my fingerprint or my password when I try to unlock it. If any one has any idea how to sort it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
JoshThanks Eric, but it's not a power issue. Tried different chargers and usb cables in a wall outlet and computer etc. It doesn't seem to recognize that it is in fact plugged to a power source. I get the low battery icon w/ the plug + bolt icon as if it needs to be plugged in but it already is...
iTunes doesn't see it either.. -
My I phone 4 ran out of battery and doesn't turn on.
My I phone 4 ran out of battery and doesn't turn on. I did bring it to a repair shop and even after changing the tip and the battery it still doesn't work. Any help would be loved because I have 3 years of data in it. cheers
Plug your iPhone into a wall charger. Usually letting it charge for 15-30 minutes is enough for the screen to turn on.
However, if the battery has been drained for a long time, you may want to wait a few hours to let the battery charge. -
I recently "Erased all content and settings" on my iTouch and during the reset, it ran out of battery and it has been the apple logo and a loading symbol on the screen for 2 and a half days now. What do I do?
I did drop it from about 4 and a half foot during the reset so I don't know if that has broken it.See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allo iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.
Next try DFU mode.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.
Aloha ...
